Business Context:
We are building a platform that allows users to browse available services (like consultations, repairs, coaching sessions) and make online reservations easily.

📌 Functional Requirements

1. User Authentication 

• Users should be able to register, log in, and log out.

2. Service Listing

• Display a list of available services, each with a name, description, price, and availability.

• Admin should be able to add, edit, or delete services 

3. Reservation Flow

• Logged-in users can browse services and reserve a service.

• Each reservation should capture:

  • User ID

  • Service ID

  • Reservation date and time

  • Status 

📌 Bonus (Optional)

4. Reservation Management

• Users can view their upcoming and past reservations.

• Users can cancel reservations (based on time rules, if you wish to simulate this).

5. Admin / API Management 

• Create RESTful APIs for:

  • Listing services

  • Managing reservations

• Create a admin dashboard to monitor reservations.

6. Simple Frontend:

•  create basic Blade pages or simple HTML forms to demonstrate the flow.

• As this job backend this is optional and will not affect your score.

✅  In addition to building the system, we want to see how you approach real-world business thinking.

🔵 Please add a short section in your README file answering these two questions:

1. Business Requirements Understanding:
   In your own words, summarize the business goal of this system in 3–5 sentences.
   (We want to see how you interpret the task from a product/business perspective.)

2. Feature Suggestion:
   Suggest one additional feature that you believe would make the service reservation system more useful for real users.
   (Explain why you chose this feature in 2–3 sentences.)

3. This part is mandatory. We are not just hiring for coding skills, but for business thinking too.

Register/Login ➔ Browse Services ➔ Select a Service ➔ Choose Date/Time ➔ Confirm Reservation ➔ Manage Reservations
